Tip: How to insert a product gallery in a newsletter

 
It is common to want to present several different articles (products) in a newsletter. Which articles you want to present can also change between different newsletters. To handle this in a flexible and uniform way, there is a function called Product Gallery in MultiMailer.

With the Product Gallery function, you can create a database of articles, containing images, texts, hyperlinks, prices, etc., and then you can insert this information at any point in the newsletter. You can also easily update the information afterwards.

In the tips below, we show how you can use this function.
